      Server Description

      A network-optimized compute instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and balanced multi-core performance for web serving and moderate database workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c5n.2xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring an Intel Xeon 8124M processor with 8 vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and a 3.4 GHz clock speed. Running on the Nitro hypervisor, it includes 21.0 GB of DDR4 memory but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. The instance provides a baseline network bandwidth of 10 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate average multi-core CPU capabilities, with PassMark CPU and memory scores falling in the middle 50% of tested hardware. However, single-core CPU performance and multi-threaded decompression are weak, placing in the bottom 25%. LLM inference speeds are also limited, particularly for larger models. This instance is appropriate for network-bound compute tasks, static web serving, and moderate database operations, offering a dedicated CPU allocation for workloads that do not require high local storage IOPS or massive memory footprints.

      Workload Profiles

      0.46Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
